♜ Chess is the ultimate strategy game, respected for centuries as a global test of intellect. Originating in India as Chaturanga, it simulated battlefield units like infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots. As it moved through Persia and became Shatranj, its strategic depth increased. Eventually, trade and conquest carried it into Europe, shaping the modern form recognised today.
♞ By the 15th century, powerful pieces like the queen and bishop transformed chess into a faster and more dynamic game. Over time, it became a universal symbol of intelligence and foresight. Today, chess remains one of the most enduring and respected strategy games in history.

Tips to Win Online Chess Against a Computer ♛
Develop knights and bishops early and control the centre. Avoid moving the same piece twice in the opening. Delay using your queen until the midgame.
Trade pieces only when ahead in material. Look for tactics like forks, pins, and skewers. Castle early to protect your king. Never leave pieces hanging.
Classic tactical ideas include ♘:
Back Rank Mate: Using a rook to trap the king behind unmoved pawns.
Knight Fork: Attacking two valuable pieces at once.
Every move shapes the game. Even planning two moves ahead provides a major advantage.
